Overview
Cold-Blooded Nature of Bass (00:00): Bass are cold-blooded and their activity levels depend on water temperature. They move less and feed less in colder conditions, unlike warm-blooded humans.
Cold Weather Lure Selection (00:25): In colder months, bass and bait fish are sluggish, requiring slower and more natural baits like trick worms, Carolina rigs, and Shaky Heads to entice them.
Winter Reaction Baits (01:18): Reaction baits like tight-wobbling crankbaits or Rattle Traps are useful for covering more water and locating bass in winter, but they should have less action compared to summer baits.
Warmer Weather Lure Choices (02:03): As temperatures rise, bass become more active and willing to chase, so wider-wobbling crankbaits, bigger baits, and top water lures can be used effectively in warmer months.
Seasonal Activity Patterns (02:29): Bass feed less frequently in winter and more often in warmer months. This influences lure choice and fishing techniques based on seasonal activity levels.
